Why was kmod-spi-gpio-custom discontinued
-
Does anyone know why kmod-spi-gpio-custom was discontinued? I can't find any details in the sources but I have a recollection it related to a kernel change. I need full duplex spi and I'm better at software than hardware so I'm thinking about whether it's worth trying to revive it.

I guess because the kernel changes are such that this is not very easy to do. I remember looking into it, finding some attempts from others trying without success, and then decided going the DTS overlay route was much more future proof (and enables not just what the few
*-custom
could do, but any standard driver).Since then, I use software SPI as described in this post.
But I realize that by now it also comes pre-packaged and documented in the onion docs
